Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment.

Hello,

A bit of advice. You may want to back away from the topic you are discussing on the Star Trek Into Darkness talk page, the one about the title section. You are arguing strongly, which is good. But a growing cadre of editors are against the inclusion, which would make a consensus against the change. In the grand old scheme of things, it is a small trivial detail. I know I have recently said I oppose such a change, if you recall, I was pro it's inclusion at the beginning, I have just since realised that it's a trivial issue that has only been reported in few outlets and it hardly meet's the notability criteria.

Grammar

Another bit of advice. Don't arrogantly engage in complex discussions involving details of proper use of the English language when you write lines such as

"PS: Remember, nomatter how historic this message becomes (/s) you can never write about it on wikipedia, because I posted it here first and not in a newspaper, as per rules 1, 7, 9 and eleventythousand."

...because "as per" is redundant. It's also very commonly known to be incorrect. I refer you to google.com for verification. --Aquishix (talk) 19:31, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
